elrockinMT Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 You should have added a choice "it's his decision". I liked what he had to say about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruth05 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Please no. He should just relax, have fun, and go out there and hit one in the actual game. That would top being in the derby IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I wish he'd compete. As a fan I'd take my chances on him sucking the rest of the season. It will be the last truly fun event for the Sox all year, besides the game itself with Sale and Abreu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked what he had to say about it that goes without saying, it IS his decision. The thread is asking what you want him to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickofypres Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Hasn't it been proven that the HR derby doesn't f*** up your swing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd_city_saint787 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I'd say yes, just because he has such a free and easy swing with hella pop....I think some guys just try to swing harder at the derby and it throws off their rhythm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconOnAStick Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I voted no because I thought he declined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Absolutely, 100% do it. I'll be pissed if he declines like it appears he may. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 No HR Derby is stupid, pointless and it can't help Jose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's meant to boost the morale of fans of last place teams like ours. Why not have some fun and make it the highlight of our pathetic season? It would be awesome if he competed. Why not?

If the highlight of our "pathetic" season is a HR Derby then we must have one of the worst teams in baseball ever. I"ll be glad with my highlight being the progression of Eaton, Abreu, and Gillaspie. As well as seeing Sale and Quintana continue to get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not have some fun and make it the highlight of our pathetic season? It would be awesome if he competed. Why not? What could it hurt? The homerun derby is not meant to boost the morale of fans of bad teams. It's meant to showcase the power of some of the homerun hitters in the league. I'll be honest, I like it, but I usually end up only watching the first half. It has taken way too long the last couple years. I voted yes for Abreu to compete, but I'm okay with him sitting it out. If he feels that it may mess up his swing, then by all means he should sit it out. And this season hasn't been "pathetic". It has been pretty much we expected (or should have expected). Remember that this is a 99-loss team entering a rebuilding year. I'm excited to see the potential of this team. We're going to see some good stuff from Sale, Quintana, Abreu, and Eaton for a while.

The way I see it is we're wasting Sale and Abreu and Q. Put some players around them, Mr. Hahn! We're averaging 20,000 fans a game. KC's soccer team averages about that.
